The illusion of separateness

“A human being is part of the whole, called by us ‘Universe’; a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest — a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.

This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely but striving for such achievement is, in itself, a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security.” – Albert Einstein

Freedom is a choice

Freedom is a choice

One of the greatest gifts I have found on my journey so far is that of freedom, true inner freedom. I say gift because it is one we all have innately yet so many of us fail to acknowledge it, it can sometimes take a journey of realisation to do so.

This is what happened to me after too many years of living in a place where I’d felt trapped both inwardly and outwardly, now I know this truth and I see it very clearly so much so I had forgotten how so many don’t.

After having this recent insight I felt passionately about sharing it with you to always remember your freedom of choice. To remember you are innately free by the freedom to choose, no matter what. I really do believe it can be this simple, as simple as a choice. None of us are prisoners and even if you are in the external sense, you still have the freedom of choice in what you believe, and in what you perceive things to mean for you and your life.

Choice is our greatest gift and the biggest illusion is in believing that we do not have a choice.

I find it shocking now when I see what some people will accept and in effect to  choose to suffer because they are in this illusion that they do not have a choice, when they really do. If you are suffering in a job, relationship or any circumstance you always have a choice. Always head towards your joy.

As Joseph Campbell stated;

Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where before there were only walls.

There is so much truth in his words and doors really do open up before you when you make a choice to follow your bliss.

When we only look externally or at the conditions we may be in, it can appear that we are trapped in some way, but there is always a choice even if only in how we choose to perceive it and this alone can change everything.

The greatest choice I believe is that of either love or fear, one on which everything can be based. In reality we are all free, we only need to choose it for it to be realised.

Your choices are the real gifts you contain;

To create a life of real beauty or pain.

~ M. L Adams

Beyond Position

There’s no right or wrong, Only positions,

Where there’s a choice beyond this; Aim higher above,

In transcendence, non- attachment, With purpose in compassion

Coming from love, beauty, understanding

Seeing all as one; only in love

~ M.L Adams

In everything

I’m everywhere, so are you,
There is nothing in the world that we can’t do,

All that is exists as one,
You only need focus on what you want to become,

In everything, in all you do
Simply be as you are, so beautiful and true ,

Living in love, with all of life
In rhythm and heart,
Simply fall in love; become all you are

Let go of seeking,
There’s no need anymore,
In the here and now; you are all that is, you are in everything

~ M. L Adams

The truth underneath

I didn’t see, I didn’t know
How could I see,
With eyes so tightly closed,
Blinded by falsehood,
Not knowing the only truth,
In that which was always here,
The existence underneath

In thanking you so,
My eyes fill with tears,
What a beautiful thing,
All that is right here
What a beautiful journey
To become all that’s here,
In truth, in all that is; in all existence underneath

~ M. L Adams

Letting go of old beliefs

letting go

So often we can be held back and not understand why, we may be aiming for goals and dreams and something just keeps getting in the way or the same situation keeps re-occurring.

If you understand what I’m talking about here then you’ll understand equally how annoying it can be, especially when you seem to be doing all the right thing but something just keeps coming up to get in your way.

Just what is it that causes this?

The answer to this is often quiet simple, it is old worn out limiting beliefs that are stopping us from achieving our goal.

And why?

Well it is most often caused by some event that happened in the past where we have attached a story and subsequent meaning to it, which has then becomes a belief. This belief can either then empower us or limit us and for some time a belief usually will always serve us in some way, often as a form of protection. What then happens is that we continue with this underlying belief even if it no longer serves us, but we hold it to be true, because based on that experience and our perception we really believe it is.

The only thing is now this old worn out belief not only limits us but also affects our perception in many areas of our life and also in our relations with others. In any area we feel limited in some way or where there is recurring issues this is often the case.

After doing The Landmark forum a couple of weekends ago I came to realise some of my own disempowering old beliefs and have decided it’s definitely time to let them go. Most of all is that in the context of today these beliefs are quiet silly and not necessary for me anymore. It is only because they were developed from a young age, that this was how I perceived the world then and then unknowingly held on to it subsequently limiting areas of my life that I’ve been wanting to develop. When I realised this it was super empowering but I also found it humorous how I’d held on to some limiting belief patterns for so long (better to laugh than cry :).

To be held back from something I decided so long ago seems so absurd but we all are doing and have done this for a large majority of our time. We then effectively keep repeating our past in to our future and therefore limiting ourselves and hence why we also get these recurring situations even if we are focusing on something  different, the belief will always win somehow.

When we discover our  false beliefs and decide to let go of them  we can create  a whole  new possibility rather than repeating old patterns or limitations that are no longer serving us. Its definitely one I’d recommend considering. What old beliefs could be holding you back from your new life of possibility?

An Alternative Reality

I’ve been feeling a real shift recently and I’m not sure if its right, although I’m not really sure if its the right thing to question it either. It seems to be a real perception shift and one that’s making everything seem more together and one, but with the status quo somewhat unusual.

I’ve been aware of this shift for a while now but it has hit me more rapidly in the last few weeks. Throughout this time I’ve been learning to accept hurt and pain as part of experience rather than rejecting it as such.

It’s as though I now see the world and my reality in a way that all is one, emotions, people, experiences, that cannot exist on a purely positive state. There is less judgement over what is good or bad and more acceptance in what is, just as it is, realising deeper that at the core of everything exists pure love and creative energy.

This reality I in part realised around a year ago and now it’s as if its deepening in that I can see it more in the difficult experiences and how they are one with the ultimate cause. In how it’s not possible to have the good without the bad, It is the same with emotions, its so easy to label them and say ‘I don’t want to feel this’, but in reality it just is and without one we may not have the others.

I know where I want to be and that is to be coming from a place of love and creativity in all I do, but its becoming more and more apparent that where there is love , there is creation and within this there is also pain and possible destruction but out of this comes further creation and love, it is all one.

Without judging this experience too much it appears from this perspective as though everything at the core is ultimately together as one, and that we are all co-existent and as part of the journey of life together, not to be in opposition with each other. There are no labels, all that is just is and when we are in alignment with creative energy or love then we will automatically operate at our highest purpose and highest self.

When we see ourselves as separate in any way or begin labelling people and situations we effectively detatch ourselves from this force and begin to lose recognition with it.

At times I am questioning this perception and becoming confused with it, finding myself saying, is this right or is it naïve or is it part of the new way of seeing things, a new world? But then in doing this I begin judging, labelling and detaching again so for now I have to trust in this new reality and flow with it. Perhaps all will become clearer in the newness of things or maybe it doesn’t need to?

Right now Prince Ea’s Rap ‘The World is Ending’ is really resonating with me, check it out if you haven’t seen it before, its an awakening in itself. 🙂 Until next time, lots of love and light to you ❤

Love exists at the core of everything, of everyone. Know and trust in this and that’s all you see, no matter what happens.
